iPad Introduction

OVERVIEW

Find out first-hand why Apple’s new iPad2 is a must for all school administrators!  Be among the first to discover how the iPad2 impacts the busy life of an administrator. Learn how the iPad2 impacts the classroom, whether it’s through anytime anywhere content development, or connecting to Powerschool to enter grades, or merging 60 pounds of textbooks onto a 1.5 pound device.

 

Learn how to take advantage of all that this incredible device has to offer from downloading and managing apps to an exploration of the latest education apps to increase productivity as well as student learning. The iPad2 is the most talked about device this year. Be the first to use this revolutionary device for your job and introduce your school and students to it.

 

The instructor for this workshop will be Craig Nansen, Director of Technology at Minot Public Schools and an Apple Distinguished Educator. Craig is an experienced instructor on iPads.

 

This workshop will be limited to 26 participants, so we will fill it on a first come/first serve basis.

 

Participants will be expected to bring an iPad or iPad2 and a laptop to the workshop, and be registered with a number of free online programs.  Participants should have synced their iPads before the workshop.
